How Camphor is Made.

Camphor is made in Japan in this
way. After tree is felled to the earth
it is cut into chips, which are laid in a
tub or large iron pot partially filled
with water, and placed over slow fire.
Through holes in the bottom of the tub
steam slowly rises, and heating the
chips generates oil and camphor, OF
course, the tub with the chips has a
closely fitting cover. From this cover
a bamboo pipe leads to succession of
other tubs with bamboo connection,
and the last of these tnbs is divided
into two compartments, one above the
other, the dividing floor being per-
forated with small holes to allow the
water and oil to pass to the lower COM
partment. The upper compartment is
supplied with straw layer, which
catches and holds the camphor in crys-
tai in deposit as it passes to the cooling
process. The camphor is then sep
arated from the straw, packed in
wooden tubs and is ready for market.
The oil is used by the natives for illu-
minating and other purposes. Chris

a Plea for Chicory.

A short, stout man. with red face
and happy laugh, is person who
has made his millions in the coffee bust
ness on Vesey street. He spends most
of his spare time with the politicians in
the Astor House rotunda and he never
was known to decline an invitation to
drink. After taking what he has ac-
copied he invariably munches hand
full of coffee. To a select party Of
jovial companions, who never before
gave the subject thought, he said last
night: You can adulterate food, but
coffee is rightfully free from the charge,
People who are ignorant say that the
mixture of chicory with the delicious
beverage is injurious, but abroad it is
demanded, and it is over the water that
the coffee-drinkers are. The "black
coffee" served at swell restaurants is
generally made entirely of the root. In
Germany thirty-five per cent. of
chicory is added and in France over
forty per cent. In this country, how
ever. but four per cent is used.-M r

RAILROAD NEWS.
a New Connection Proposed with
the International.
Franklin County People Aaitating a
New Railroad.
a Line Which May Interest Portland
Merchants.

FARMINGToN, April 30.-The people Of
this county are becoming enYious Of the ac-
tive movement being made for the extension
Of the Maine Central Railroad from Skowhe-
gan to a connection with the International
Railroad at Moose river, and believe that
Portland interests should favor the extern
sion of the railroad system now terminating
at Kingfeld to connection with the Inter-
national. Such road would give Portland
new connection with Northern Maine and
Upper Canada, and would be Of more mate
rial advantage to that seaport than any road
that shall tap the International at a point
further east. The last Legislature granted
a charter for the construction of road from
Kingfeld up the valley to the Carrabassett
and Dead Rivers to the International Rail-
road. and also for a road connecting King
field and Norridgewock on the Somerset
Railroad. At the present time the railroads
from Pennington to Kingfield are narrow
gauge, but can be changed to standard gauge
with comparatively small expense. The dis
tance from Kingfeld to the International
road is about fifty miles, and the country is
pronounced very favorable for railroad build
ing. The Canadians have for some time
contemplated road to connect that city
with Portland, and year or more ago pro
cured charter for the Portland, Megantic
and Quebec Railroad, which is intended to
run from Quebec to a connection with the In
ternational Railroad most favorable for
connection with the railroad terminating at
Portland. 1t is probable that an active en-
deayor will be made to have this proposed
road constructed that thereby the Farming
ton branch Of the Maine Central may become
a main line from Portland to Quebec.

MAiDEN'S MUTUAL LEAcUEr
Newton IN. - Girls Organize Against
Drinking and Smoking Young Men.

NEWTON, N. j., April 30-The girls of this
town, who are famous throughout Jersey for
their beauty and sprightliness, have organ
lied league against drinking and smoking.
They made solemn agreement that breaths
odorous of whiskey shall not approach their
lips, and arms that are crossed before a ma
hogany bar shall not encircle their waists.
At meeting of the young women the prohi-
bition was extended by a narrow majority to
smoking, but some of the girls have disre-
garded this rule. The society which the
young women have organized Is called the
Maidens' Mutual Protective Band. They had
a constitution and bylaws printed, setting
forth that no smoker, drinker or frequenter
of billiard halls should cross the threshold of
their homes. Over 90 of the prettiest girls in
town signed the pledge and paid the small
initiation fee. Copies of the bylaws and
pledge were circulated among the young men.
Several very susceptible youths swore off at
once, and gave up billiards, bowling and all
the liquid accompaniments of those games.
But a great many young men revoted.
They held a meeting early this week in one
hotels, and determined they would not be
dictated to. They cut their old flames dead
on the street; they formed billiard and
card clubs, and are prepared to fight it out If
1t takes all summer A dozen young men
have concluded to wear blue flannel shirts
and big straw hats all summer, and ignore
the girls entirely. So far, both sides are
firm,

HYpRo-AERocYcLE.
An Invention that Makes the People
Of vassaIboro Smile.


We have had the temerity TO coin the above
title which was the only name that can just
ly be applied to craft brought into exist
ence by Vassalboro genius. Passengers on
the Maine Central have noticed this spring
near the station at Getchells Corner a boat
over which the most skilled In naval archl-
lecture might confess TO be puzzled. IL was
made during the winter by Mr.. William Cole,
the veteran ferryman at the above named
place. Mr.. Cole has built the entire craft,
utilizing for this purpose discarded now
ing machine and old sheet iron stoves from
which he has constructed unique machinery.
The hnll Of the boat Is after the gondola pat
tern, and Is to be driven by a screw 10 which
motive power Is furnished not by a steam
engine but by an immense horizontal wind
mill. The screw Is made from an old stove
and all the gearing came from rusty now
ing machine. The windmill Is huge aRalr
with fans Of canvas which revolve In sucs>
way as 10 drive the boat forward regardless
from what quarter the wind blows. The
machinery though cumbrous Is easily kept
In motion and there can be no doubt but that
the Hydro-etc., when launcned will proudly
and gayly plough the waters Of the Kenne-
bee. The inventor affirms that he has enter
delayed until now TO work out his plans,
which certainly show a surprising careful
ness In detail. Mr.. Coles neighbors speak
Of his Invention somewhat as we presume
Noah's Ante-dilnyian friends spoke Of the
ark, but our inventor pursues the even tenor
Of his way unruffied by jeering doubts.
Here Is a suggestion to Uncle Sam. No for
elgn cruiser could behold without quailing a
Windmill navy swooping down upon them.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Maine Man Among the Injured
Persons.

STEELE, OAK, April 30.--A west bound
Pacific express on the Northern Pacific
jumped the track to-day near Discoll, pre-
cipitatng five of the seven coaches into a
ditch. The train was running on a heavy
down grade at the time and the heat of the
sun, Which is something unusual st this
season, had warped the rails. The engine
and express car passed over in safety, but
the five cars following left the track and
turned bottom up in the ditch. Two cars
were loaded with two companies Of the U.
). Cavalry, en- route for Ft. Yates and Bu-
ford. The other three were filled with emf
grants and first class passengers mostly
bound for the Pacific coast w. o. Bird of
Fairbault, Mimi, was killed; c. II, Gray of
Ellsworth Falls, Me-, was cut on the arm
and head Miss Gertrude Hill of Bigeman.
Mout.. was badly hurt internally; ii. H.
Scott, assistant superintendent of the North
ern Pacific telegraph lines, had his legs bad
ly smashed, recovery is doubtful; Michael
Mccarthy, 9TH Cavalry, seriously cut; II. Il.
Scott, 18th Cavalry, jaw broken; Albert
Wolfe, 9TH Cavalry. and John c. Kelly, Fort
Buford, injured internally. 1t is surprising
under the circumstances that score Of peo,
pie were not killed.
